In the midst of these challenging times, finding ways to keep kids entertained and engaged at home has become more important than ever. Australia’s most popular crafts: 14 Crafts in 14 Days initiative aims to provide a creative outlet for families looking to make the most of their time together. It’s all about focusing on the positives and exploring ways to spend quality time with our kids through fun and exciting crafting activities.
We’ve curated a diverse selection of 14 craft ideas to enjoy over the course of 14 days, offering a mix of boredom-busting projects that break up screen time and inspire creative expression.
From the classic appeal of Perler Beads and the enchanting world of Harry Potter Perler Beads to the whimsical magic of Shrinky Dinks and the vibrant artistry of Sand Art, Scratch Art, and Driveway Chalk Fun, there’s something for every young artist to explore and enjoy.
Join us on this crafting journey as we spark imagination, foster creativity, and make lasting memories with our kids through the power of hands-on creativity.
